Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The compression, because it drastically reduces the disk space."
"It has reduced our backup time and simplified our backup processes across all the servers."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are efficient backup and replication. Additionally, Veeam Backup Replication supports all products and vendors."
"Recovery of backup data is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"One of the most valuable features is the integration. Another good feature is the instant recovery."
"I like Veeam a lot because it solves problems, is stable, and runs very well."
"It has an intuitive interface, and it provides us with successful backups without needing to tweak or do any adjusting. We just set it up and like their ad says, "It Just Works.""
"They provide good technical support and we are satisfied with the support we have received."
"The granular restoration that it provides for a business application is most valuable. For example, for Exchange, we can restore a single mailbox or email. We can also do SQL Server restoration and bare-metal recovery for operating systems."
"The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection."
"I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client."
"Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason."
"They need to improve their technical side."
"The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards."
"The cost needs to be considered."
"I think Veeam needs to improve the file installation process, as well as more technical things like snapping feature issues. Sometimes during backup, when it's taking the scan snaps on the ESXi, it started and didn't remove the snapshot from there, which consumed storage on the EXSi. It could be improved with more technical depth. The response time for Veeam's technical support could also be improved."
"The backup and integration could be improved."
"There are certain solutions, such as Rubrik and Cohesity, that are little by little, taking market share. Veeam needs to be more aggressive to keep their dominance in the space."
"Occasionally, in the course of upgrading one's virtualization platform, the backup can be ruined."
"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."
